Famous quotes containing the words takes and/or chance:
“Lady Utterword: What a lovely night! It seems made for us. Hector: The night takes no interest in us. What are we to the night?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The popularity of disaster movies ... expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence. Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
